• Meet Chris & Nicola, a pair of trainer addicts, who built up their own personal collections of kicks so much so, they had to give them their own room! Chris has been breathing new life into trainers for years, so his expertise lies in the product....yup, he's a total trainer geek! Nicola loves her trainers too but her geekyness lies in the business side. Both passionate about keeping things out of landfill, they put their creative minds together and Kicks Refurb'd was born.

    (Yip, both Chris & Nicola's trainers did survive tough mudder last year once they worked their magic on them)

OUR PROCESS

  • CLEANING

    Every pair of pre-loved trainers we get our hands on goes through our thorough cleaning and sanitising process before re-shaping and storing carefully. We are very particular and our quality control checks happen at every step of the way. We will never send out trainers that you need to do any work on yourself, we'll have done it all for you. We can't tell you exactly how or what we do it (as it's top secret of course) but trust us, our processes are lengthy & very, very thorough!

  • GRADING

    We will always be transparent and let you know the condition of the trainers through our pictures and descriptions and if there are any defects or issues then we will point these out for you. Of course, some will be absolutely awesome & pretty much like new and some may have a little more wear on them. Either way, there will still be plenty of life left in them for you rock your style! Put it this way, we will never sell anything we wouldn't wear ourselves
